    When you shovel a few thousand bucks worth of contaminants up your nose, you're an addict. When you do it with your car, you're an "enthusiast." But I think it amounts to the same thing. After a while, you're down a few thousand bucks, you and your ride look like hot buttered hell, and nobody wants anything to do with you. And yet, paradoxically, there's a few folks out there that look on you with a perverse sort of envy.

    Is this thing rolling on 15 inch wheels? Those things look tiny, the rear especially. Someone meeds to tell Toyota that SEMA is about extreme not about being brown. #lexusgs

    @rigidjunkie: Deep dish always look smaller than they are, by 1"-2" (that's part of why I prefer flat/lipless rims). But it doesn't help when a car has big rear slab sides like that.

    I bet these are 18". #lexusgs

    The GS is a great car, but about the best thing you can say for the looks is that it appears functional. #lexusgs

    Needs more debadging. This looks more like an everyday tuner, not a SEMA special. Still, it's a well-designed car to start with. #lexusgs

    These aren't bad looking cars. In fact, there's nothing really objectionable in the entire Lexus line-up. For Toyota-philes with some extra disposable income they are fine.

    However, they are part of Toyota. And, along with their parent company, lost their mojo.

    Good looks only get you so far. You have to perform, too.

    I think the GS is their best current design. If they work the driving dynamics (/oxymoron) a lot, it could be more respected. Let's see if the GS-F really exists.

    Ok, I'll put my armored suit and you can reply.

    @Syrax: Agreed. The GS is one of the best-looking sedans currently available--easily the best mass-market Lexus design I've seen. Humble opinion, etc.

    @Syrax: My boss has a GS (non-hybrid). The design is not abrasive to me but it sure is big for a five-seat sedan. Extend that roof line a bit more and put a hatch on it. They might have a nice looking wagon.

    @Motor_Yakuza: I think it could be an application for the rumored LF-A V10. They wouldn't make a completely new engine for one model only. It'll probably make its way to the LS too.

    The IS is nice too, but it still looks too much like a toy on the road.

    @SaphalaKhavaran: What more do you want. I stood in front of the engine display with GM powertrain engineers as they pointed at the crank and said "forged steel" and followed it up with "hand built next to the LS7 and LS9."

    Wow. Growing up in the 80's in a British post-colonial nation heavily under the Japanese automotive influence, I never really got American sports cars. If fact, every time I read those three words in a sentence, it was followed by raucous laughter by readers (and sometimes the writers). I lusted after the E30 M3's, The Escort Cosworths (American in name only) and the Lotus Esprits but nothing could have prepared me for lusting after a Corvette.

    This may be the perfect sports car. Affordable (relatively), Very fast (sub 4 second 0-60 and 400 HP HAND BUILT Engine!). That $53 K B8 S4 that I just configured is looking very, very silly right now.
